“Shacharis Musings

As morning light little shines

in still wee hours before dawn’s rise

speak to Him before day begins

through visions of angels’ eyes.


Praises of kindness and words proclaim

majestically soar o’er ocean sand

the majesty of Creator’s fame

know whom before dost thou stand.

Close thine eyes to worrisome day ...

With shroud enwrapped o'er thee

bound both arm and head adorned

closer to Him a moloch be.

Ancient hopes on pages worn

 in prayers long seen through tears,

 awaken molochim early morn

 to pray for length of years.

 Examine each day ere too late,

 in prayerful haste lest thou proceed.

 Secure a place at Heaven’s gate,

 prey not upon man dost heed.
